About
As a specialist certified by both NORMI and the IICRC in odor abatement, smoke and fire restoration, mold assessment, mold remediation, and water damage restoration, I bring extensive expertise to completely eradicate a wide spectrum of odors.
I am licensed in the state of florida to perform mold remediation or mold assessments. I take a strong interest in solving indoor environmental problems.

I'm really passionate about this area of restoration and I would love to be selected for your project.

Teddys odorremoval treatment is nothing short of magic, he came out within hours of our first contact and fully removed intense odor from a cat who to put it nicely, wasn't a big fan of the litter box and the odor had permeated throughout nearly my entire home. He didn't mask the odor it was completely removed and would reccomend his services to anyone.
Teddy went above and beyond when we had an emergency situation with the pet odor. He came out on a weekend and mitigated the serious feline odor that had permeated the whole condo. We are very grateful. Will would certainly recommend his services.
My husband and I suffered from smoke damage after a neighbor’s apartment caught fire. It was an extremely stressful situation - we could not live in our apartment because the smell of burnt plastic was so awful, our cats had to be boarded, and our landlord was being very difficult about cleaning up the apartment. We thought we were going to lose everything. Then I found Teddy, literally the best thing that could have happened to us after such a stressful event. He was in our corner throughout the entire process; he was able to come out to our home immediately to check out the damage, basically strong-armed our landlord into doing the right thing (clean up the apartment), and was also very knowledgeable in how to deal with the insurance company. Teddy always texted/called with updates and was very honest throughout the entire process. He also took extra care of restoring our home because he knew that both I and one of my cats has asthma. Best of all, he got the smell of burnt plastic out of our apartment and made it so that we could bring our cats home and feel safe. I thank Teddy and his team from the bottom of my heart ❤️

Teddy was great. Super professional. Knows his stuff and provided a lot of good advice. He knows the remediation space very well and had a smoky smelling apartment smelling fresh in clean after treatment. He took the time to redo some areas he thought needed more attention. He clearly cared about doing a good job and I appreciated it. Highly recommend and would work with Teddy again if I needed help again.

FAQs
What should the customer know about your pricing (e.g., discounts, fees)?
Odor removal is an art with elements of science, do your due diligence on whoever you decide to hire so you don't spend money without results and spin your wheels. I am very good at what I do and I would love to be selected for your project. I am a specialist this is an area I excel in whereas other companies may be good with mold etc... but don't have nearly the level of experience in the field that I have for odor removal. It's not uncommon for customers to go with the lowest price and end up calling me because the other company failed. That being said I think my prices are fairly reasonable and by far the best value and I am extremely careful with the chemistries I use not only for the safety of my customers but also in protecting your pets, homes, and personal items from damage. I do fire/smoke damaged contents restoration so I know how to handle personal items with care.
What is your typical process for working with a new customer?
I do a phone interview on certain aspects of the odor scenario and start to formulate a plan, sometimes I can give an estimate over the phone other times I will need to visit the site.
What education and/or training do you have that relates to your work?
Certified Odor Abatement Specialist Certified Mold Remediator and Certified Mold Assessor by National Organization of Remediators and Mold Inspectors with years of experience. IICRC Odor Control Technician, Water Restoration Technician, and Fire and Smoke Restoration Technician
